Hey dad,
I know it's been a long time since your passing, but I found myself reflecting on tomorrow's date. You would be 74. I wish I still had you here. I have had to deal with some very rough times, in health and in business. I know that I could always count on you to lift me up and educate me in a way that many could not. I hope that you are sitting around with Bobby, Mom and all our other passed family members, as well as with the love of your life, Jeanne. I love you dad and miss you dearly. Happy Birthday!
I hope you'll be there with Bobby to welcome me home, when it's my time to join you.

Hi there folks. I would just like to share an experience that always brings a smile to my face when thought of. One day my father in law (Bill) & I were doing some work under my house(yuk)& the dogs started barking. We live up in a mountain side ,so there isn't much traffic up here. Clearly someone had pulled into the driveway. To my pleasant surprise My Uncle Johnnie & Cousin John had stopped in to say hi. Not only had it been some time since we all had last seen each other , but my place is difficult to find. Not on map quest!So here I was, soaking wet and covered in mud & other under house type stuff only to be surprised by their visit. Their timing was how ever perfect as a break was much needed. It was nice to introduce them to Bill & we had a fun time together chatting about misc. & showing off my shop (guy stuff) & property. It really didn't matter what we talked about, it was just great company. I hope to be surprised again someday by my cousin John, as we have alot in common & would like to catch up. Enough rambling for now , just wanted to share a cool experience ! Hope all is well, --Don Gair

My dear brother, you would be so proud of your son. I understand he is standing tall and taking care of business. You must have known his shoulders were wide enough to carry the load. As he takes the journey you left for him, he ages and gains knowledge with each challenge. He is putting to use some of the things you taught him and gathering new ones as he opens and closes another unknown door. Guide him as he travels down the road each day, pick him up, if he falters and set him on his way. You are now one of his guardian angels. I love and miss you as I am reminded of the time we spent together. Your Sis

I also remember going to his mom's Arlene & Ray Sticklemeyer house for dinner, I thought I was eating chicken but found out later and couldn't believe she had BBQ rabbit in the fireplace... they raised rabbits for a while and she also had Chihuahua dogs and she gave our mom two of them one named Star and the other Cindy. After moving from Tukwila,after our parents divorce.Both our parents stayed in touch with Arlene & Ray we visited many times at there home in Federal Way. She made the best strawberry pie and cookies and I always enjoyed our visits because she was so nice to me. Johnny came with his wife and kids to our house acouple of times when we lived in Graham Wa.in the early 70's. Johnnie Johnson has and always will be apart of the Smith family , we will continue to speak of him and remember the good ol' days. He was just as much a part of our lives as we were his. God Bless his family and all who loved him. Please know Our hearts are heavy. My family Loved Johnnie Jay Johnson - Dearly too. Rest In Peace Johnnie until we meet again. Cathy

I have tried to write since Johnnie funeral and have found it difficult.I too am one of the Smith Kids of Tukwila WA. Johnnie Johnson was the cute kid on the next block that played and hung out at our house. He adored our Mom Francis and admired our Dad Floyd.My brother and Johnnie were the best of buddies.It is surprising how many memories one has when we take a moment to reflect.But,all these 40+ yrs.the Smith kids fondly remember our childhood in Tukwila and always Johnnie was added into the story. Wondering where he was, and how he was doing. We even tired to locate Johnny a few yrs back with no success.I know in my heart once he passed he knew my siblings were always looking for him and he found a way to find us and let us know....One summer Johnnie and our Brother Ed fixed a carnival type event for the neighborhood kids. It was very exciting for everyone.

Uncle Johnnie you always brought a smile to my face when ever we were together. I wish it had been more often but non the less, I loved your company. What a great man you were, & remind me so much of Grampa its not even funny. I'm sure you two are together again starting a new treasure chest ! I know what a great person you were & how you were loved by so many. I know also you were always there for others in need, a very special person indeed. I love you buddy & will see you on the other side---Don

Dad, I know you never heard me say the words, but I hope that in your life I showed you how much you meant to me and that you always knew how much I loved you. My only regret, now that you are gone, is that we had spent more quality time togetther. I will always remeber and cherish the time that you took me camping for 3 months out at Elbow Lake in the Bald Hills. It was a time that allowed me to see my dad as a free spirit and not a workaholic. In your passing, as I sit and research your life while arranging your funeral, I am learning so much about your past, your loves, and your friendships. things that I never paid attention to when you were alive. I am proud to have you as a father and I hope you I made you proud of how I turned out. One last thing Dad, tell Grandpa Johnny, Grandma Arlene, Mom, and Bobby that I hold you all dear to me and when my time comes, I hope to see you all there to welcome me home. I love you dad and miss you more than you know.

The Ship 'I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue lagoon. She is an object of beauty and strength and I stand and watch her until, at length, she is only a ribbon of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other. Then someone at my side says, 'There! She is gone!' Gone Where? Gone from my sight -that is all. She is just as large in mast and hull as when she left my side and just as able to bear her load of living freight to the place of destination. With Life..... Her diminished size is in me, not in her, and just as the moment when someone at my side says, 'There! She is gone!' there are other voices glad to take up the shout, 'There! She comes!' '

My dearest childhood friend and first love My heart has been heavy and sad since I read Sundays paper Tuesday night. (I seldom read the paper so I feel you must have guided me there). To find out now that you lived so close brings a heavy ache to my heart. If I had known I would have found you! We never said goodbye for I have always believed that I would some day turn a corner and you would be there. We have thought and spoken of you often Johnnie (Ed, Sharon, Shirley and Cathy). Our childhood in Tukwila has always been close in our minds and our hearts. Our memories of you will always be special in many ways. You had already been through many hardships in those younger years but you were a thoughtful and gentle soul. I pray that your remaining journey held many moments and memories filled with love and laughter. I have and will continue to miss you. Forever yours - Speedy

My dearest brother, If we could only talk one more time, this is what I would say. I love you and Happy 60th Birthday. You have completed your journey. On the day of your birth you were greeted by your parents and all your siblings. At the end of your journey you enter the gates to heaven. Your mother Arlene, father Johnny, extended family and those who's life you touched, wrapped their arms around you and welcomed you. The times we had together were more hard, than fun, but we were on the same page. You were a man who kept his word even if you were the looser in the end. I would not be writing this today if your hard work, kind heart and world elements had not shortened your life. You were too young to leave us. We did not grow up together and yet our lives did touch and our spirits were one. We understood each other without words because of talents our father passed down. I have lost my last connection to our father, for me, I am sad, but happy that you are free of pain and with our dad. You would help if ask and I did the same. You and I know what many other do not, that bond will give me peace in my heart as long as I live, some day we will meet again, you will say ' Hi Sis ' and we will both smile. Love ya,
A

Our dear friend - We have thought and spoken of you often this past year. Any time the Smith kids get together our Tukwila days are most often remembered. We always start out asking has anyone seen or heard from Mike, Marty, Wayne, Colleen or her brothers. And then the 'remember whens' start. We now know where our Johnnie has gone and it has been difficult knowing that a childhood friend left without having a chance to remember those times together. We should have held on tighter and longer. It seems we grow up and life gets busy and then we grow older and apart. I am sorry that we were not there. You lived so close to many of us and we never knew. We need each other in our lives and for those left behind it is a constant reminder to hold on a little longer when you hug hello or say good bye. We all make a difference whether we know it or not. Until we meet again my friend the Smith kids will continue to share the stories and the memories of our Tukwila days. We want Johnnie Ray to know you were an important part of our lives.
